You can't really ask players to randomly flip a switch.
Stars are generally rhythm players, I've watched players go 2-10 at half and finish the game 13-25 or some shyt. If you don't have the freedom to "go off" after a bad start, great games will be few and far between.
I agree but that's the price you pay when on a team with players better than you. I mean Klay Thompson in a similar scenario (although a way better player imo). You only going to get so many shots and you have to be able to capitalize. I mean that shyt might fly in Minny where(at least in the past) getting the 8th seed is a good year. But, when you actually playing for something and trying to beat arguably the best team ever assembled theres no time for him to have a bad start. By the time he eventually "goes off" game already over.
